variations on a blue chair (after William Carlos Williams)

1

so much depends
upon
a blue arm
chair
spattered with painted
graffiti
beside the blurred
lady

2

so little questioning
outside
an orange body
dethroned
removed from blank
darkness
on the far side of the actual
prince

variations on a blue chair (after William Carlos Williams)

3

no luck extends
beyond
a few warm
prayers
scattered myth tainted
entreaty
inside the heard
“obey me”

4

all of it needs to be
on top of
an azure wing
projection
strewn among camouflaged
scribbles
near the confused
soul
